Hmm, Miakoda, I don't think your dogs look ridiculous in their collars. Guess it was the 3" collars I was thinking of that look ridiculous. I can understand using them for hog hunting, but I don't see the point of putting them on a medium-sized dog, otherwise.
I wish I could get a picture of Dakota wearing a wide collar. His hair puffs out so much on either side of the collar, it makes him look like a lion.
I like hairy dogs, but pretty collars go unnoticed under all the coat.
